For most of the FEMA ISP Courses, one can select the course from the course list and then download course materials and a final exam, which allows one to actually take the course and complete the exam offline. Then you simply log back on and take the test online, filling in the answers to complete the course. Thereafter you will receive a course completion certificate, however it takes quite a while (typically a couple of months).

Recommended courses for all NEOMRC members:

IS-22 – Are you ready?

IS-100 – Introduction to Incident Command System

IS-200 – Basic Incident Command System – A good follow-on to IS-100
